Application Error ECHMSYN.DLL

Unread post by lgschwind »

I am getting the error below when I close H&M. Other than that it seems to be working OK, but I'm concerned this is going to eventually cause some problem. And I've actually had weird things happen with TortoiseSVN so I'm wondering if this affected it? I have Subversion disabled because I do not want to use it integrated with H&M. I use TortoisSVN separately with File Explorer and Subversion.

What should I do to correct this error?

I'm on H&M Version 7.5.0 Build 4692

Thank you! -LG

Application Error:
Exception EOSError in module ECHMSYN.DLL at 0000F5A9.
System Error. Code: 1404
Invalid hook handle.

The first thing I would suggest is installing the latest version of H&M which is v7.5.1 Build 4713 - see if that helps

Hi LG,

Which Windows version are you using? Also, are you running a virtual machine or Terminal Server? This DLL is only the syntax highlighter and it doesn't impact your normal operation at all. The error message on closing is really only an annoyance, that is probably related to something in your system configuration.

I am running Windows 10 workstation. If it is not something that will cause a problem, I can handle the annoyance. I was just concerned that it was something that could have an adverse effect on my projects and/or files. Thank you! -LG

So far we have only seen this error very rarely in virtualized environments where the application itself has been sequenced for virtualization. What appears to be happening there is that when the application shuts down the virtualization environment closes too quickly, leaving the DLL orphaned in limbo.

Since this is only a shutdown issue it cannot cause any problems, just an annoying error message. For whatever reason it is happening in your case, the situation should be similar. We'll look into it.
